Guess again. Things have worked out very well for me here and the view from the left seat is great, but I guess that was because I encountered positive discrimination.
Talking of 'homework', how's that CV of yours coming along?
PayScale
And that's MY very point. As a Company we are 'economical' with the truth before you join. A form of deception almost. Perhaps in future, Flight International should place a warning with every EK job advert.

Don't get me wrong. I'm neither advocating nor opposed to this course of action. It's certainly a brave, some might say foolish move, but maybe they feel there's nothing to lose. To be perfectly honest, I suspect this whole legal action is non exsistent and the thread is merely to elicit a reaction from us. It's succeeded. Maybe someone is tentatively testing the likelihood of support amongst the EK Pilots should they decide to proceed. The original post though, if true, states a claim for discrimination. Nothing to do with false promises of 3 years to command or breach of contract. They have been discriminated against. Yes, as were the Boeing guys 6 years ago. However, 6 years ago the job market was a different place altogether.
Regarding you statement on this quick gain society and underqualified employees, I couldn't agree more. Sad, but true!

Thats the thing the one day will make me leave. Not the company, but the wall banging incompetance one meets everyday. My bank lady, doing the mortgage for us, just confided that she doesnt have a banking education.
Just a short course, a calculator and a front office. Long live commission based employees. Sign the paper and we'll forget all about you - after you pay, siiirrrrr
